About Me
|
Well what can I say about me, let's start with the physical part. I am a 5' 7.5" tall, african descent with dark, brown hair and big, bright, dark, brown eyes with golden brown skin(I am not red). I am slim with a slightly, muscular build (very slight). I am not easily angered and therefore I am a very mild-mannered girl of 19 years. I like to be around people who I love and love me. I can be very annoying and mischievous but I am a very loving, caring person and I am also very good listener. I love a good time and I love to laugh and make ppl laugh and meet new people. I am very physical when I'm arguing and in anything else for that matter if you know what I mean. I am a GOD-fearing person seeking a deeper relationship with GOD. I don't shove my beliefs down any one's throat. But hey if you want to know me just ask. Here's a little something I want everyone to read.
Charles Wesley’s Radical, Fruitful Risk
By John Piper
On July 18, 1738, two months after his conversion, Charles Wesley did an amazing thing. He had spent the week witnessing to inmates at the Newgate prison with a friend named “Bray,” who he described as “a poor ignorant mechanic.” One of the men they spoke to was “a black slave that had robbed his master.” He was sick with a fever and was condemned to die.
Wesley and Bray asked if they could be locked in overnight with the prisoners who were to be executed the next day. That night they spoke the gospel. They told the men that “one came down from heaven to save lost sinners.” They described the sufferings of the Son of God, his sorrows, agony, and death.
The next day, the men were loaded onto a cart and taken to Tyburn. Charles went with them. Ropes were fastened around their necks so that the cart could be driven off and leave them swinging in the air to choke to death.
The fruit of Wesley’s and Bray’s night-long labour was astonishing. Here’s what Wesley wrote:
They were all cheerful; full of comfort, peace, and triumph; assuredly persuaded Christ had died for them, and waited to receive them into paradise. . . . The black. . . . saluted me with his looks. As often as his eyes met mine, he smiled with the most composed, delightful countenance I ever saw.
We left them to meet their Lord, ready for the bridegroom. When the cart drove off. Not one stirred, or struggled for life, but meekly gave up their spirits. Exactly at twelve they turned off. I spoke a few suitable words to the crowd; and returned, full of peace and confidence in our friends’ happiness. That hour under the gallows was the most blessed hour of my life. (Journal, vol 1, 120-123)
Two things amaze and inspire me in this story. One is the astonishing power of Wesley’s message about the truth and love of Christ. All the condemned prisoners were converted. And they were so deeply converted in one night that they could look death in the face (without any long period of “follow-up” or “discipling”) and give up their spirits with confidence that Christ would receive them. O, for such power and witness!
The other thing that amazes me is the sheer fact that Wesley went to the prison and asked to be locked up all night with condemned prisoners. It was a huge risk. These men had nothing more to lose if they killed another person. Wesley had no supervisor telling him that this was his job. He was not a professional prison minister. It would have been comfortable and pleasant to spend the evening at home conversing with friends . Why did he go?
God put it in his heart to go. And Wesly yielded. Wesley believed in hell and heaven. He believed that what these prisoners believed from their hearts on that night would determine forever their eternal destiny. It was worth risking his life for. O that I might discern the leading of God when something outside my usual path is called for.

Favorite Books
I just love 'THE CALL OF THE WILD' which is kind of lame since it isn't anything 'deep' but it's just so nice. Another favourite of mine is not actually a book but I like anything written by Danielle Steele and Nora Roberts. Also the best book I've ever read is of course the Bible and I haven't even finished it yet.

May the Lord bless you and keep you, May the Lord make his face shine upon you, May the Lord lift up his countenance on you, And give you peace. AMEN.
Prov 3:5-7 5)Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. 6)In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight. 7)Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the lord and turn away from evil.(NASB)
Psalm 69:6 6)May those who wait for You not be ashamed through me, O LORD GOD of hosts; May those who seek You not be dishonoured through me, O GOD of Israel.(NASB)
Matthew 28:16-20 16)But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated. 17)When they saw him they worshipped Him; some were doubtful. 18)And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on the earth. 19)Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20)teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always , even to the end of the age." (NASB)
Listen- I heard the voice of Jesus say 'Come unto me and rest. Lay down thou weary one, lay down thy head upon my breast' I came to Jesus as I was weary and worn and sad, I found in him a resting place and he has made me glad- Why don't you take him up on his offer. Trust me, if you need a friend who sticks closer than a brother; believe in the LORD JESUS CHRIST and you shall be saved.
Romans 8: 35-37 35)Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36) Just as it is written, "FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG; WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED." 37)But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.(NASB)
